Only a Dream

Why does it feel, when we are
together
That this is a love that will go on
forever?
Why don’t I wait, just wait for
tomorrow?
When the phone doesn’t ring, I’ll be
filled with such sorrow.
What makes you hug me and hold me so
tight
Then nonchalantly wave as you vanish
from sight ?
Why can’t I hide that I feel such a
lot ?
Why can’t I pretend that I don’t
mind a jot ?
Next time, I promise, I’ll make out
I don’t care
I’ll say no to your kisses and laugh
if I dare,
Wave goodbye with a smile when you
go: it’ll seem
To me and my heart –you were only a
dream.Note of Sonia Copeland Bloom
